Valve 正与 AMD 合作，将 FSR 4 引入 Steam Machine
The Steam Machine is a cool little console that’s about as powerful as a PlayStation 5, according to my colleague Sean Hollister’s in-depth review. But one area where it lags behind is with its earlier version of AMD FSR upscaler: It’s just not as good as it should be. Yes, it can sharpen low-res graphics to make games look higher-res, but the PS5 (and especially the PS5 Pro) render a clearer image in motion with some games we compared.
根据我的同事 Sean Hollister 的深度评测，Steam Machine 是一款性能与 PlayStation 5 不相上下的出色小型主机。但它落后的一个领域是其搭载的早期版本 AMD FSR 超分辨率技术：它的表现远未达到应有的水平。虽然它确实能通过锐化低分辨率图形来提升画质，但在我们对比的某些游戏中，PS5（尤其是 PS5 Pro）在动态画面下的成像效果更为清晰。
That’s not great news for the Steam Machine, especially since it’s launching at $1,049 for the 512GB version — a higher price than anyone hoped for. But there is some hope that games on the console will look somewhat better in the future. Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais told The Verge that it’s working with AMD to bring FSR 4, its latest bag of upscaling and performance-improving tools, to the Steam Machine.
这对 Steam Machine 来说并不是什么好消息，尤其是考虑到其 512GB 版本售价高达 1,049 美元——这比预期的价格要高。但未来该主机上的游戏画质有望得到改善。Valve 的 Pierre-Loup Griffais 向 The Verge 透露，公司正与 AMD 合作，将最新的超分辨率及性能提升工具集 FSR 4 引入 Steam Machine。
In an email, Valve adds that FSR 4 is “coming soon” but that it “can’t say more about timing.” This is all encouraging to hear, since the last we heard in the “will-it-won’t-it” drama, the likelihood of AMD bringing FSR 4 to devices with RDNA3 integrated GPUs (such as the Steam Machine) was a little bleak.
Valve 在一封邮件中补充道，FSR 4 “即将推出”，但“目前无法透露更多时间表”。听到这些消息令人振奋，因为在之前的“会不会有”的猜测中，AMD 将 FSR 4 带到搭载 RDNA3 集成显卡设备（如 Steam Machine）上的可能性一度显得相当渺茫。
FSR 4 contains numerous enhancements that improve how compatible games running with the upscaler look in motion (including AI-assisted frame generation), which will hopefully give the Steam Machine a definitive edge over Sony’s six-year-old, $650 console. Valve tells us “It should offer a significant improvement in upscaling graphical quality.”
FSR 4 包含多项增强功能，改善了兼容游戏在开启超分辨率后的动态表现（包括 AI 辅助帧生成技术）。这有望让 Steam Machine 在面对索尼那款已发布六年、售价 650 美元的主机时，获得决定性的优势。Valve 表示：“它应该能显著提升超分辨率后的图形质量。”
